Testimonials
“As a realtor, the first listing I worked with John and Frankie kept me busy in such a wonderful way thanks to your beautiful staging. We had multiple offers and closed way over list with both Seller and Buyer ecstatic with the outcome. Because you created such a beautiful and welcoming environment, buyers were not concerned with the slightly awkward floorplan or lack of a garage. The setting of the home was stunning but needed that extra touch. The second project we worked on together had the same outcome and both were such fun, successful projects both putting more profit back in the seller’s pockets. You clearly explain to sellers the value added, lift the burden off the sellers then provide crews to complete the project in a timely and cost effective manner. Not only do you stage all rooms making the homes feel warm, inviting and occupied but you take the time to study the market developing a keen awareness of the potential buyer then stage the complete house accordingly giving each room the vision it needs to speak to buyers in a very personal way.”

“You and your associates at JEC of all Trades performed masterful work at a reasonable price helping us to sell our home. You did the following:
Advised us as the best theme to use to sell our home,
Recommended repairs and replacements for key elements of our home that had become dated – including some doors, countertops, shower stalls, kitchen and living room lighting, etc.
Recommended and managed the work of a contractor that handled painting, minor repairs, and the work cited above. His fees were reasonable and he was on budget and on time.
Staged our home after renovations were complete in time for photos, an open house and visits by potential buyers.
The home was listed for sale on a Friday in February and we closed and collected the cash for the sale exactly 14 days later at basically our asking price. We had some other offers for more than the asking price, but elected to take the cash sale to avoid delays and financing uncertainties.”
— Gary Brooks, Homeowner
“I have used John and Frank to help me prepare my listings for the market for many years. I consider them my go to design team. As a result of their staging, my listings sell faster and at list price or above. They arrange each room in a home with the right furnishings so that buyers can visualize the potential of their life in the home. I offer a no cost home walk through with my design team to all my sellers in hopes that they can see the value of staging with experienced designers. It is well worth the investment. You can’t go wrong with this team!”

“We used John’s firm to stage our house this past summer. Their advice was great! They staged our home and their advice was spot on. We had two offers during our open house and we got 6% OVER asking price. We would highly recommend JEC to help you sell your home.”
— Dick Carroll, Homeowner
“Just closed and John and Frank are the ones who made it happen! They have both the understanding of the sellers' needs and the buyers' desires, and bring them all together in wonderfully staged homes. From start to finish, the process was comfortable for everyone and seamless. I always have to laugh when I show their homes; the buyers inevitably open the refrigerator to see if anyone actually lives there! They really do look as if the seller just stepped out! This house had been on the market for over 100 days (during the holidays) but as soon as your furnishings went in, POOF! We were under contract. This was the 4th house that you have done for me, and my clients have all been delighted with the process and the speed and strength of the offers. Hopefully, listing number 5 will be right around the corner. I am thankful for thier care and professionalism. They simply are the very best!”
